Heya! 3 for Helios, Ironwing and Nightjet - Shatterglass the boys! :D

Your wish is my command o7

3. Evil version of them

The trio's dynamic would be interesting to explore in the Shattered Glass universe.

We have the devious manipulator Helios who quit his job as a medic in a time of great political unrest to build a new life pulling the strings of the kind and soft-sparked Senator Proteus, and using him as a puppet that should stir the cooking pot of politics. Once he has had enough of him, Helios would dispose of him, as he would do with his annoying coworker Aegis.

He is surrounded by goody-two-shoes and it is grating on his nerves. Helios isn't known for his patience, being an impulsive bot who dends to act first and ask questions later. However, when the Autobots seize control over Cybertron and it is time to play his cards, he has an ace up his sleeve.

There are no suns to fly into in this one (he will extinguish it with the help of Ironwing's and Nightjet's teams), foiling Carbonlight's plans to use their star for energy harvesting purposes. Cybertron will never feel the warmth of a nearby sun again :/ well oops

Nightjet is just sad most of the time. Brutally honest and sad. His brother didn't survive the war in this universe and he has been isolating himself from his crew ever since. The Stellar Observatory may be a warship and her captain may be a commendable fighter, but the crew has deserted as it became clear that fighting for their cause will most likely get them killed.

Shattered Glass Ironwing is a rowdy bot, always picking fights he cannot win and getting his ass handed to him. He's a horrendous fighter and many wonder how he has managed to survive his pre-war life in the Vosian fighting rings. But! Helios is there to patch him up whenever he needs it, so it's all good.

(Left to right) the talentless ruffian Ironwing, impulsive manipulator Helios and honest but sad Nightjet

Helios still gets punched sometimes. That much hasn't changed, though this time, he probably deserves it.

Their Shattered Glass inverted colors look surprisingly good. Helios is off-white and navy blue with purple lights, Ironwing is orange with red and blue highlights, Nightjet is cream, off-white and turquoise, and he looks majestic.

Hi, hello, hi :D For the asks, 2 for the HeliWingJet polycule (because I'm predictable) and 14!

Hi! For the boys, alright! :D

2. What's your oc's orientation? (Romantic/sexual/platonic alterous ect) Do they have opinions about it?

Helios - polyamorous demiromantic (romantic attraction based on pre-established trust)

Ironwing - ambiamorous homoromantic (romantic attraction towards the same gender, or in his case this means individuals with the same identity)

Nightjet - polyamorous omniromantic (attraction to all, no preference)

They're all ace. Every single one of my TF OCs is asexual actually, now that I think about it. Hm.

As for their opinions, I think Helios would just love everyone who treats him fair and understands him, and doesn't mind him being himself around them. He puts up a front most of the time in the presence of too many strangers so it's nice to drop the friendly neighbor act when someone has seen through it. Acceptance is his biggest green flag.

Ironwing has had four boyfriends in his lifetime (three of which are dead, btw, why am I doing this to him) - I guess he likes them? I don't know, lmao.

Nightjet is a sappy romantic and he was just waiting for someone to be romantic with. He's not picky, though that's not always a good thing. It worked for him.

14. Do you have ocs on the aro or ace spectrum?

My TF and Brave OCs are asexual, some are also aromantic and some are aplatonic and some are both. (Do I have to list them? There are. Many)

Light of Aether OCs:

Ace: Amber Varnice, Cryo Volta, the Sorceress

Aro: Avalanche, Flamaclam, Icador, Rhiza

Aroace: Malfunction/Vindictus, Lucerna, Nameless

Apl: Scyre, Tinnitus, Etra

For the rest, I didn't think about it before or it's not relevant to the story.

4, 6, 15, 29 and 39 for Helios but no pressure to answer everything :D

I'll answer everything anyway :-D

For Helios. For the boyo.

4. How easy is it to earn their trust?

It would be easier to defuse a bomb with no prior knowledge. Luckily, both Ironwing and Nightjet know this and they have used it to their advantage. If you want him to trust you and not just pretend that he trusts you, you better be patient because it takes him a while to open up to anybody.

6. Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?

Immovable. He has primary, secondary and tertiary directives that he must follow and the third one happens to be abiding by the rules his handler/superior gives him.

15. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?

Helios has a habit to speak without thinking when he's around people who he knows tolerate it, but other than that he's very cautious about what he says.

29. Do they usually live up to their own ideals? 

No. I don't even know what these ideals would be other than be everyone's friend (which is impossible).

39. How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?

It's pretty easy, since he thinks everyone is better than him (on good days) or he's the most flawed guy alive (on bad days).

It's finally finished

To train my muscle memory I did seven five artworks for the OCkiss23 challenge.

1. Dance - Nightjet gives his sad bf Helios a kiss on the helmet to cheer him up (Helios has to stand on a pedestal to reach up to NJ because of the height difference)

2. Food - Estian has baked muffins for Expugnatrix and earned himself a kiss

3. Nostalgia - Helios gets a kiss on each cheek from Nightjet and Ironwing while they hang out (set in an AU where everything is alright)

4. Charm - Altitude kisses Ironwing's servo during a performance on stage

5. Yearning - Scyre misses her fiancé and kisses a picture of her instead (the last panel is just me fr, heh) Didn't have the time to work on it.

6. Adventure - Azimuth and Exopulse are hanging on for dear life and kissing

7. Sloppy - Time ran out - Firecry and Anvil are very in love, ok. Just trust me on that.

You can tell how the effort I put into this decreased with each day
